I have 320 videos in my largest playlist (I have three), and downloading them all at once in HD would kill my 100 Gb/month ISP bandwidth cap. What I would like is to be able to set the bandwidth cap to 50 or 75 Gb per month, have 4K Video Downloader grab as much as it can, then continue downloading the playlist the next month and the month after, picking up where it left off each time, until it finally has my entire playlist. Of course, there will be new videos added, so it would be nice if it could also check my playlist for new additions.

It should also check for missing files when YouTube deletes a video, give a missing file error report with the missing video information (assuming this is stored in a YouTube playlist file so I can locate an alternate video ...there's always another somewhere), and continue on.
